Is Latin America the most red region in the world?

I've been asking this question myself for a long time now. That's why I haven't read the Spiral Dynamics (Don Beck) book yet. Have you? A long time ago, I decided consciousness>Spiral Dynamics. But now I'm focussing more on the human, I think I could grow a lot from reading and studying it.

I've read it, along with most of Ken Wilber's oeuvre, and the conclusion is clear: these are serious creeps using the same imperialist language that's dominated U.S. foreign policy since the Spanish-American War.

“Societies stuck in mythic or magic stages of development must be gently but firmly brought into rational, modern, and postmodern realities if they are to thrive in the global world.”

 

If Wilber weren’t such a jargonite, we could play a fun drinking game: “Who said it - Wilber or U.S. foreign policy?”

At the end of the day, it’s just classic colonizer talk.

lol, it just hit me that 'Red' pertained to Spiral Dynamics.  I'll still add my two pennies.  I would have to disagree because the primary characteristics of Latin America is family focused, not 'self', very spiritually-oriented...not wordly value oriented, generous as a collective culture and very concerned about one another as community.  And they obviously love the U.S. so that qualifies them for 'global perspective'. Some even want to go to Mars with Elon Musk, i.e. Cosmic consciousness. I rest my case, thank you, thank you, thank you very much!  El Zapato is leaving the building.
